May 13, 2012 7:00am Crash Survivor Mom Celebrates Mother’s Day With Fifth ‘Miracle’ Child Stephanie Nielson gave birth to her fifth child, Charlotte, last month. (Credit: Stephanie Nielson) The day your first book hits stores is a big one for any first-time author, but on April 3 — the publication date of her now best-seller, “Heaven Is Here” — Stephanie Nielson was preoccupied with something else: the birth of her fifth child, Charlotte.

May 6, 2012 8:00am Girls Heart Dissection: Changing Minds, One Virtual Scoop at a Time Mildly Inappropriate Mommy delights in dissection…sort of… This is a story that begins with a severed cat head. I’m just putting that out there now so that any cat people reading this blog can stop.

Monster trucks are motorsports' professional wrestlers: Big, loud and over the top, these 10,000 pound behemoths seem like anything but child's play. Except for one Fort Lauderdale, Fla., family, that's exactly what they are to most people. When Kaid Jarret Olson-Weston was 3 years old, his parents Nancy and Tod took him to his very first monster truck show, and from that moment on, KJ was hooked. "He went home saying he wanted to be a monster truck driver," Nancy Olson-Weston told "20/20." Most families would leave that statement as the whim of a toddler, but KJ was different. By 3 he had already spent his fair share of time riding Powerwheels and ATVs, and his parents saw nothing wrong with taking it a step ... Continue reading →
